What if Bengaluru’s traffic problem isn’t really a transport problem?
The second edition of the CVU India – Karnataka Chapter Round Table was hosted by DivyaSree at DivyaSree Chambers on “The Human City: Urban Mobility & Transportation.”
While earlier conversations centred on the metro and public transport, this session looked at how the city itself is organised. When home, work, school, hospital and market are close together, daily life needs fewer trips. The discussion pointed to self-sufficient neighbourhoods, where most daily needs are met within 30 minutes, as a promising direction. Participants also highlighted the value of an overarching plan, strong governance and civic discipline in bringing these neighbourhoods together as one city.
The session was attended by:
▪ Shaifali Singh, Managing Director and Chair, DivyaSree Developers
▪ Anil Hira, Director, Buro Happold
▪ Naresh V Narasimhan, Managing Partner & Principal Architect, Venkataramanan Associates
▪ Dr Anup Naik, Founder & CEO, Urban Frame
▪ Sanjay Bathija, Director – Design Strategy and COE, DivyaSree Developers
▪ Ravishankar N, Senior Director & Site Leader, Otis
▪ Arvind Nandan, Managing Director – Research & Consulting, Savills India
▪ S Nagakrupa, Director – RMZ Office
▪ Susan Marcus, Director – Service & Modernization Sales, Otis
▪ Shobha Regunathan, Founder, The Build ED
▪ Jyoti Gandhi, Global Partner – Growth Strategy & India Development Director, Buro Happold
The insights will inform the CVU white paper and a recurring mobility newsletter.
